Entiendo porque este libro es un clasico. Lo recomendo a todo el mundo y quiero pedirte que no dejas que los hombres grises roban tu tiempo. Cúando obsecionas con trabajar lo mas eficaz posible no ahoras tiempo pero lo pierdas. La obseción come tu tiempo. ( )
Quest to stop time thieves. Some quirky ideas in this story; having to walk backwards to reach destinations, clocks running in the house that stop when the time keeper leaves, a tortoise who can see some minutes into the future and communicates by forming words on the pattern of it's shell, grey men smoking pipes to increase their life spans, and time flowers. Momo's own childlike innocence with her ability to engage friendships and encourage a peaceful community was beautiful. ( )
Alfaguara Clásicos nos brinda esta cuidada edición íntegra de Momo, un clásico inolvidable de la literatura juvenil, de Michael Ende.
Momo es una niña muy especial, posee la maravillosa cualidad de hacer sentir bien a todo aquel que la escucha. Pero la llegada de los hombres grises, que pretenden apoderarse del tiempo de las personas, va a cambiar su vida. Será la única en no dejarse engañar y con la ayuda de la tortuga Casiopea y del Maestro Hora, emprenderá una aventura fantástica contra los ladrones de tiempo.
Simplemente extraordinaria, muchos me han dicho que Momo es en definitiva la mejor obra de Ende, no me gustaría tener que comparar este libro con otros del mismo autor; sin embargo, es innegable que esta historia está llena de magia y de mucha reflexión sobre nuestro tiempo en la tierra. ( )

The professor smiled. "If people knew the nature of death," he said after a moment's silence, "they'd cease to be afraid of it. And if they ceased to be afraid of it, no one could rob them of their time anymore." "Why not tell them, then?" Momo suggested. "I already do," said the professor. "I tell them the meaning of death with every hour I send them, but they refuse to listen. They'd sooner heed those who frighten them. That's another riddle in itself."
All games were selected for them by supervisors and had to have some useful, educational purpose. The children learned these new games but unlearned something else in the process: they forgot how to be happy, how to take pleasure in little things, and, last but not least, how to dream.

She tucked her head and legs in, and very slowly, in letters visible only to those who have read this story, her shell spelled out two words: THE END
